Bug

Code:
cat infile.txt | od -An -t dC | tr -d "\n" | sed 's/ 10 / 10~ /g' | tr "~" "\n"

will take an input file, and provide all the hexadecimal representations of each character, putting output out on separate lines (for separate input lines).[/QUOTE]

Thank your for your suggestion. But the code you provided generates a output like this :
Code:
104  101  108  108  111   10
119  111  114  108  100   10

But i need the strings in the above mentioned format like :
Code:
%68%65%6c%6c%6f%a
%77%6f%72%6c%64%a

Later on i want to feed a Java-Script with the output.
When i use the unescape() command i want to have the plain text again.

NAME
ascii - ASCII character set encoded in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal DESCRIPTION
ASCII is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a 7-bit code. Many 8-bit codes (such as ISO 8859-1, the Linux default character set) contain ASCII as their lower half. The international counterpart of ASCII is known as ISO 646. The following table contains the 128 ASCII characters. C program 'X' escapes are noted.

O _ o DEL NOTES
History An ascii manual page appeared in Version 7 of AT&T UNIX. On older terminals, the underscore code is displayed as a left arrow, called backarrow, the caret is displayed as an up-arrow and the ver- tical bar has a hole in the middle. Uppercase and lowercase characters differ by just one bit and the ASCII character 2 differs from the double quote by just one bit, too. That made it much easier to encode characters mechanically or with a non-microcontroller-based electronic keyboard and that pairing was found on old teletypes. The ASCII standard was published by the United States of America Standards Institute (USASI) in 1968. SEE ALSO
